Rosso'15 Di Montalcino BIONDI SANTI 0,75

ROSSO DI MONTALCINO DOC
2015

This wine was originally known as 'Brunello Etichetta Bianca' and was renamed Rosso di Montalcino in 1983 when the DOC was established.
True to the style that characterises all Biondi-Santi wines, Rosso is distinguished by its fragrant and fruity soul, which makes it perfect to be enjoyed even at a young age.
THE 2015 VINTAGE
A majestic vintage where structure, elegance and freshness combine to create something special. 2015 was a warm, low rainfall year with high temperatures from May to
August, which allowed the vines to ripen very well, giving us perfect grapes for very classy wines. We started the harvest on 21 September.
THE ORIGIN
The 2015 Rosso di Montalcino was produced with the Sangiovese Grosso clone BBS11 (Brunello Biondi Santi 11), identified and selected by Biondi-Santi at Tenuta Greppo
in the 1970s. For this Rosso, grapes were used exclusively from the youngest vineyards, aged between 4 and 10 years.
AGING
The 2015 Rosso di Montalcino was aged 12 months in Slavonian oak barrels.
THE EMOTION
The 2015 vintage gave great satisfaction. Even in Rosso di Montalcino one can feel the makings of an outstanding vintage that stands out for its structure and very refined
and intensely fruity bouquet. Brilliant ruby red in colour, it offers a broad and intense bouquet with notes of violets and wisteria flowers, fresh cherries and light hints of cedar
that find depth in the spiciness of pink and white pepper and sweet notes of vanilla bean. In the mouth it is soft and well-structured, with a fruity core, very elegant and fine.
The potential of the vintage is evident in the really important tannic texture that finds balance with the fresh acidity, typical of Tenuta Greppo wines. The finish is long and
savoury. A ready-made wine, while maintaining a good capacity for bottle ageing.
